(He/Him) Born in the remote Canadian North and raised by wolves I joined the circus and traveled the world. Proud Dad of LGBTQ2 kids, PC Gamer, Dog Enthusiast, Craft Beer, Hockey, Star Trek, Alt/Punk/Goth Rock. Sucker for Historical Fiction. ¡No pasarán!

First of many different beers I picked up today. Space Cowboy Passion Fruit IPA from Sons of Kent from Chatham, ON. Intense fruit-forward taste. Smooth with soft hop character. Galaxy, Citra and Nectaron hops elevate the fruit and citrus notes. #BeerSky #Canada #CraftBeer. Happy Long Weekend!

I know what some of you are thinking but don't dismiss this album. Tony Levin, David Rhodes and Jerry Marotta (Peter Gabriel's band) were the studio musicians. It's a stellar example of that mid-80s synth-pop, new-wave sound. It deserves modern retro synthwave remixes. #vinyl #nowspinning

Gowan - Strange Animal LP

Some of the 90's best blues noise rock on this album. Dark and twisted, channels the best of The Stooges and if you're not careful while listening you might find yourself chugging whisky, trying to figure out how you can score hard drugs, and loading a shotgun. #vinyl #nowspinning

Laughing Hyenas - Hard Times LP

Is it Thursday? I've lost track. Fajitas for dinner. House to myself as the better half is working late. Trying to get my Discogs caught up because there is a record show this weekend at Sons of Kent Brewery. #vinyl #nowspinning.

New Model Army - No Rest For The Wicked LP

One benefit of the trade war is the removal of interprovincial barriers. Allows me to enjoy craft beers I could never get before in Ontario, like 'The Wolf' Hazy Pale Ale from Sea Change Brewing out of Edmonton, AB. Sessionable at 5.5% and brewed with Alberta oats and wheat. #BeerSky

No porch tonight but a first taste of Legacy's Canadian Farmhouse Ale out of Northumberland Ontario. Barley from Alberta and B.C.; Hops from Quebec; Oats, Wheat & Rye from Ontario. Proof this country is best when we all work TOGETHER. #Canada #CraftBeer #BeerSky

Strive to be unfailingly upright in all your dealings, to show the slaves of priestcraft and superstition that morality has nothing to do with religion - Robertson Davies

PRFM was OK. Picked up some tchotchkes but nobody was selling vinyl. Perhaps I need to start up a side hustle and get myself a table next time. I did pick up a stack of offensive greeting cards.

I've been banned from r/antimoneymemes for posting a comment inferring that Jeffrey Sachs is in the employ of Putin. This was in response to a video where he dumped the Ukraine War 100% at the foot of NATO and painted Putin as a tragic hero. Look what the mod team sent me... beyond the pale.

Probably better the antique mall was a bust today. It means I have a decent budget for Punk Rock Flea Market tomorrow afternoon. I should probably be doing yard work or laundry today but don't have the motivation. Just sitting here drinking espressos with the music cranked. #vinyl #nowspinning

The Clash - Give Em Enough Rope LP

A nearby antique mall advertised a pop-up vinyl sale today. I walked in, the lady behind the counter took one look at me and said "Vinyl Sale was Cancelled, Sorry". Do I really have 'the look' I asked? "Umm, no offence but yes, absolutely". #vinyl #nowspinning

Bad Brains - Bad Brains LP

There is a municipal election coming up where I live. A couple years ago a guy I used to work with went semi-viral for a poster he made for the Ontario Provincial election. I've repurposed his original design accordingly and printed a sign for my lawn.

I think we need to be at least be open to the possibility that our future AI overlord might be smart enough to determine that in order to 'save the world' it only needs to kill off the Billionaire class, Pedophiles, and those who engage in Genocide.
